This Viva Glam Gaga lipstick is a really nice nude that I love to rock, however it can be very intimidating when you first apply it because it is a amplified finish and very creamy. Since it is an amplified finish I do not feel the need to apply a lot one swipe is enough for me. I do believe most complexions can wear this color however you have to play around with it with lip-liners and lip-glosses.
This makeup remover is not me!
Before I remove my makeup I first wipe my face off with a baby wipe then I would use the break up cool cleansing oil to remove whatever makeup maybe left behind. I rinse the product off my face following behind that with a face wash and there is still make up to be found. I found in order to get all my makeup off I have to use more than just this product to do so. This product is not enough to remove my tinted moisturizer. I was not impressed at all.
I found this product to be moody and to have a mind of it's own. Sometimes it would go on the eyelids smoothly and sometimes it would not. It would often leave a cakey appearance on my eyelids so I would end up either removing the product or packing my eye shadow on my lids trying to cover up the cakey look of it. At first I thought maybe my eye lids were to dry and needed some moisture but even when I applied a little extra moisture to my lids the product still was a hit and miss for that day.
If I could get the product to go on my lids smoothly it would make my eye shadow go on smoothly, keep my eye shadow on, and neutalizes lid color.
This is one of my all time favorite fragrances! This is a fragrance that I continue to purchase everytime I run out. Each time I wear this fragrance I always get compliments and ask what fragrance I am wearing. The scents stays on my skin and clothes all day so I don't have to apply over and over again, and I don't need a lot to get that desired smell I want. Another great thing about this fragrance is if you cannot afford to purchase the the bigger sizes you can purchase the rollerball for $22.00.
The VS tinted moisturizer is sheer coverage but buildable to a light coverage. Once applied it does look like my natural skin which I like.Within a hour or less my skin does start to get oily so through out the day several times a day I have to blot in order to keep the skin away. I have tried not using my regular moisturizer before I apply the tinted moisturizer and face primer and I still have to blot but not as much. To set I use my Mac loose powder in NC45 and the color I use in the tinted moisuturizer is dark.The product is a pretty good product for those who do not have oily skin and problematic skin, however if you are a person who needs coverage this product is not for you.Even when building the product up you will still be able to see your flaws or freckles.
Mac face and body foundation is a very light and sheer foundation. It does not look like foundation at all when you apply it, it looks like your skin with a little glow to it. It does leave a sticky feeling after you apply the product but once you set it the sticky feeling will go away. Within an hour or two I do start to get oily and will have to blot throughout the day but other than that the foundation last all day on me and is pretty good.
I do have normal to combination skin. I am usually oily in my T-zone. My color is C7. It does come in a 4oz bottle for $32.50.
I recently purchased the smaller bottle of this foundation and I don't know if the formula is different or what but the one that I recently purchased from the new collection does not leave that tacky feeling behind and I have not been getting oily. I have had to blot once a day if that. This has become my new favorite liquid foundation. The smaller version is in a 1.7 bottle and the cost is $27.00. The smaller bottle I am thinking will last me for a year or more because I have been using it for a little over 2 weeks and I have not put a dent in it yet. I have set this foundation with setting powder and I have use this foundation without setting it and either way I was please with the overall outcome with the foundation. I would recommend this foundation to those who do not have a lot of skin problems because the foundation is a sheer foundation. I sometimes apply this foundation with the E.L.F. powder brush however I love applying it with my fingers for a better coverage.
I love the Fresh Brew lipstick! It is described as a creamed coffee color and it is a luster. I love this color on me for everyday and with all kind's of makeup look. The color is more on the nude side and has some shine. You don't really need a lip gloss with this but I sometimes wear one for a little extra shine. The wear of the lipstick is average I don't feel it's very long lasting.
The rush lip glosses are pretty good. I don't care for the smell that much and they are really sticky but I guess the glosses being sticky helps them to stay on longer. You only need to apply alittle bit because alittle goes along way. If you are looking for a high-gloss shine to your lips this is the lipgloss that will give you that look. And the price is not bad for them either. You can purchase 2 for $12.00 or 4 for $20.00.
